Description:

One of approximately 600 manufactured in .30 caliber in 1877-1885, and far less were ornately factory embellished like this example. Though unconfirmed, this revolver certainly shows all the hallmarks of a gun specifically made for the large trade fairs of the late 19th century. This particular Smoot shows near full coverage, factory floral scroll and border engraving, as well as a full gold plated finish. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one-line E. Remington & Sons address and patent date and the serial number is marked twice on the left of the grip frame under the grip panel. It is fitted with a blade front sight, notch rear sight, and a pair of smooth pearl grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains strong traces of the original gold finish in sheltered areas with the balance being primarily the attractively aged silver plating that was used as a base for the gold and crisp engraving overall. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
